Mrs. Gu gave an order, how dare the Zhang family disobey, even if there are a thousand unwillingness in her heart, she must show her filial piety of "being obedient to her relatives and being a son of man".

What is filial piety, isn't it to like what your parents like, respect what your parents respect, and nod your head to say yes? Since she loves to toss, let her toss, and I don't know if this midnight has made the people in the Gu Mansion panic and jump, will she be able to find out why she is here?

Zhang's heart was slanderous, holding back his resentment, and said in his heart: Although he has the right to be in charge of this Gu Mansion, the power of this family is really a bit chicken under the pressure of the word "filial piety".

After the order was passed down, there was a dark tide surging in the entire Gu Mansion for a while, and the night was not peaceful after all.

The orchid courtyard was quiet and warm and elegant, at this time the night breeze blows, a birdsong startles up, causing the branches to move slightly, and a large piece of sycamore leaves fall like rain.

In the midst of this wind, there was a "bang" sound from nowhere, and Yu, who was leaning down and falling asleep, was awakened.

"Madame......" an old woman hurried in.

Yu got up in his clothes, his long untied hair hung down like a waterfall on his chest, just half-covering and half-hiding his graceful figure looming, and a wide-sleeved cloud-patterned curved deep coat, which made him even more lazy and charming.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the person who came was the old lady in charge of her yard, Yu frowned slightly, brushed her hair behind her, sat in front of the collapse in a dignified manner, and asked.

"Madam, the eldest lady sent someone to pass the word, saying that she asked Madame to ask all the maids and maids in the courtyard to come out and inspect the ...... Check-up! ”

The old woman said with some horror, thinking: Although the eldest lady and the third lady look harmonious like sisters on the surface, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the secret fight between the two is not a day or two, but the third lady has never leaked, so that people can't find the slightest mistake, this night in the middle of the three, I don't know what happened, the eldest lady actually didn't even want the image of "calm and serious, gentle and benevolent" maintained in Su Ri, and directly asked all the maids in the house to check their bodies.

This physical examination is an extremely humiliating thing, as the saying goes, "the Taishang does not insult the first, then does not insult the body, then does not insult the reason, and then does not insult the rhetoric", the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it, how can it be said that the test will be tested!

The old woman didn't know if this was right, so she slandered in her heart, and at this moment, she heard Yu Shi ask very calmly, "What happened?" What is the reason for the medical examination? ”

The old lady immediately replied: "The slave also does not know the details, only to hear the humane, the eldest lady seems to have killed a slave maid today, the old lady went to the courtyard of the eldest lady, and after coming out, the eldest lady sent someone, saying that she wanted to investigate a person who was injured by bamboo." ”

"Someone who was injured by bamboo?" Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then picked up a silver sable Xuanhu shawl and stood up, and asked, "Are all the people she sent here?" ”

"Not yet, probably people are still in the yards of other sisters-in-law or aunts, the eldest lady passed the word and asked the third lady to check herself first." The old woman replied.

Yu's face sank, self-examination, which means that if she finds out this person in her courtyard without self-examination, she will not be able to get rid of it?

What the hell is she looking for? Could it be......

Yu's eyes lit up, and his gaze was suddenly as cold as lightning.

"Then according to what she said, let all the servants and maids in this Youlan Courtyard come out to check!" She said, paused, and ordered, "In addition, send someone to Qi Niang's yard to check it out!" ”

"Yes!"

After putting on his clothes, Yu walked out of the bedroom, and when the night approached, although there was no moonlight, the courtyard was already full of torches and bright lights.

The maids and servants in the courtyard all stood up, all looking worried and inexplicably at a loss, just waiting for the steward Geng Yu to check.

Under Yu's instructions, Geng Yu looked over one by one, and didn't find anyone unusual, so she asked, "Which of you has been injured in the past few days?" There are witnesses, speak out, and Madame will be rewarded! ”

The maids and servants looked at each other and talked in a low voice, but no one dared to stand up and speak, maybe someone wanted to take a leap, but they were pulled by the people next to them, and they closed their mouths again!

The entire Youlan Courtyard lasted in this tense and frightened atmosphere for a long time, until it was sure that no one spoke, and then Geng Yu replied to the Yu family: "Madam, there should be no one in our courtyard!" ”

Yu nodded and hummed, and was about to ask someone to retreat, but at this moment, Gu Qiniang's voice came.

"Auntie, what the hell is going on? Why are they searching my yard? ”

Seeing that Gu Qiniang was only wearing a white robe before going to bed, and a brocade robe covered with a gauze brocade robe rushed towards her, Yu couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice: "It's so late, what are you doing here?" ”

Gu Qiniang was a little indignant, and said bluntly: "A-Niang, I just don't accept it, why did they check our yard, just because she is from the Zhang family, just because she is the eldest aunt, so my grandfather handed over the housekeeper to her, but A-Niang, you are a noble daughter from the Huiji Yu family, how can you be so humiliated by her?"

Although you often teach me to follow the way of Lao Zhuang, the husband does not fight, but if we do not fight, others do not fight with us, you always tolerate everywhere, but let her look down! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yu Shi was furious when he heard this, and he couldn't help but raise one hand high.

Gu Qiniang looked at Yu's raised hand, and was so frightened that she hurriedly took a step back, although this slap did not fall on her after all, but she was ashamed, depressed and aggrieved as if she had received this slap.

"Auntie, am I wrong? In the whole Gu Mansion, who doesn't know, grandfather is partial to the eldest uncle, grandmother is partial to the second uncle, and there are good things in the house for the big house and the second room Langjun sisters-in-law to go, and what about us, what do we have, some are just a joke for others to see others discuss. ”

After Gu Qiniang finished speaking, Yu Shi frowned in amazement, and asked puzzledly: "What kind of joke?" ”

Gu Qiniang was even more ashamed and hateful, and stomped her feet and said, "What other jokes can there be?" Isn't it just a sister with a crazy aunt? Because of this sister-in-law, the thirteen mothers took it out from time to time to ridicule me. Although Lao Tzu said, 'The husband is not fighting, so the world can not fight with him', Confucius also has a saying, it is tolerable, which is unbearable! ”

Yu Shi had a headache when she heard this, no matter how much she taught her daughter, she couldn't change this anxious and irritable personality, and she could talk back to her and tell her a big truth.

Wait, though...... Who is causing tonight's turmoil?

Yu Shi pressed his forehead, and his heart suddenly brightened...... Could it be her again!

The thought flashed, and I saw a person rushing in from outside the courtyard gate, hurrying towards them.

"Third lady, the person sent by the eldest lady found a person in Qi Niang's courtyard." The man reported, "A man who is said to have been injured by a bamboo. ”

……

The night of turmoil, although it was caused by Gu Yu's words, it didn't seem to be related to her, and the twilight pavilion was still as calm as ever, except for a few maids who were called out for questioning and sent back quietly, everything was as usual.

And this night, Gu Yu had a strange dream again, she dreamed of the empty and gorgeous hall again, dreamed that she was lonely and holding an empty cup, and even dreamed that thousands of troops and horses were like a long dragon stretching for hundreds of miles pointing directly at the imperial city...... Finally, there was a young man in a white robe standing on the tower.

The man, with his bloodied sword in his hand, turned back and smiled at her.

"Sister...... I'm back again! He said.

That smile made the heavens and the earth lose color, dazzling and soulless, but there was an indescribable strange beauty!

Gu Yu woke up from the dream again, sat up straight, but after waking up, she couldn't remember the face of the man in the dream, but she intuitively felt that the person was not Huan Che, but she couldn't help but overlap that face with Huan Che's face.

Hearing a noise in the bedroom, Chen Yu took the lead in lifting the curtain and walked in.

"Lady......" she called out, looking at Gu Yu with some concern.

Ever since she told Gu Yu the truth about Shen's madness, Chen Yu had always been worried, and when she heard her sudden startled voice, she was almost frightened and rushed in.

"Is the lady okay?" She asked.

Gu Yu nodded, only calmed down for a moment, then lifted the futon, got up and collapsed and said, "It's okay, ask Miaowei to come in and freshen up for me!" ”

Chen Yu said hello, and when she was about to go out, she heard Gu Yu ask, "By the way, what day is today?" ”

The lady is still a little unrelenting recently, and she has many nightmares...... Chen Yu sighed gloomily in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Today is March 2nd, and tomorrow will be the Spring Festival!" ”

"On the third day of March, the song water flows, and the scholars and girls feast!" Gu Yu muttered.

Chen Yu said: "Yes, yes, lady, tomorrow is a good day for the nobles of the scholar clan to go on an outing, the old lady seems to have also set up a banquet in the Lanting, I heard that there are not only the scholars and gentlemen to talk and communicate, but also the girls' virtuous poetry gathering." After a pause, she smiled again, "The lady can also take this opportunity to go out for a walk." ”

Go out for a walk...... It's also a good opportunity.

Thinking of this, Gu Yu's heart jumped sharply, and at this moment, she suddenly remembered one more thing!

Seeing that her face had changed drastically, Concubine Chen called out repeatedly: "Lady, what's wrong?" ”

At this time, Shiqin and Shihua also called outside the door: "Lady, Miao Feng and Miao Yu ask to see!" ”

"Come in!" Gu Yu responded.

After the two maids pushed open the door and came in, they both saluted Chen Yu. After the poetry and painting's gaze swept lightly over Chen Yu, it fell on Gu Yu, who just opened his lips and wanted to say something, but he wanted to say it again and again.

Gu Yu saw her concerns and said bluntly: "Say it!" She is her own person, so you don't have to hide it from her! ”

Shihua owed to Chen Yu, and then looked at Gu Yu and replied: "Everything is as the lady expected, last night the old lady ordered the eldest lady to give the order to search the yard, and then searched out people from the courtyard of Qi Niang, Thirteen Niang and Aunt Liu in the second room, among these three people, one was injured on the left hand, one was injured on the right leg, and the other was injured in the abdomen, and the maid who was injured in the abdomen bit her tongue and committed suicide on the spot after finding out, and the other two were sent to the old lady's yard, and the old lady locked the two in the torture room. He is being tortured. ”

After finishing speaking, Shihua asked again, "Lady, are these three people the murderers who trapped Niangzi and Shi Niang in the water?" ”

Gu Yu pondered with his hands, condensed his eyebrows, and replied: "Not necessarily all of them, maybe none of them, but I don't deny that they have a certain interest connection with the murderer." After that, she added, "This trick can only blair and force the murderer to show up!" ”

The poem and painting were a little ignorant, but there was a sentence she understood, the lady was saying, forcing the murderer, that is, the person who wanted to kill her, to show up!

Seeing her look frightened, Gu Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I'll wait for her to kill me!" ”
